E-learning as a Challenge for Widening of Opportunities for Improvement of Students' Generic Competences
2012
The rapidly changing economic, financial and social conditions require new knowledge and competences in order to be able to understand them, adapt to the new requirements and remain competitive and successful in the globalised social environment. Widening the access to lifelong learning is one way in which this could be achieved. A special role in this process is given to universities as promoters of lifelong learning. E-learning is a means of promoting the changes in academic studies and providing an opportunity to integrate non-formal and informal learning elements into formal education. Individualisation, learning opportunities flexible in time, as well as the e-environment can facilita…

Contributions from Informal Geography to Close the Gap in Geographic Information Communication in a Digital World
2019
Contemporary challenges and problems of society demand decision support systems that use geographic information. Even though geography since its origins has been a science with a strong transversal character, society has now made it become the focus of its agenda. Novel and other already established actors are involved in this rediscovery and popularization of geography. Both groups are promoting known and unknown geographical tasks thanks to technology, which is revealing new landscapes of our old territories and showing us the agency capacity of Geography Science. In this chapter, the authors review the offers and demands of communication on geographic information from the informal geogra…

Why do financial inclusion policies fail in mobilizing savings from the poor ? Lessons from rural south India
2017
© The Authors 2017. Development Policy Review © 2017 Overseas Development Institute Combining multivariate and qualitative analyses, this micro-level study suggests an explanation for the persistence of informal savings in rural south India despite publicly run large-scale programmes to promote bank savings. Gold, in particular, but also Rotating Saving and Credit Associations (ROSCAs) and private lending, remain the dominant forms of savings. We argue that cultural norms and social institutions, such as social class and caste, shape the nature of savings, and also the propensity and opportunities to save. Gold serves multiple purposes, financial, economic, socio-cultural and political. Fur…
Shared Cognitions in a Field of Informal Education: Knowledge Maps Towards Money Management of Young Adults
2013
Prerequisite knowledge of first grade Bachelor students (N = 48) on processes of private consumption and housekeeping (money management) has been assessed by means of knowledge mapping. The study is based on the fact that in German compulsory education, there is no emphasis on economic literacy. Young adults (students), however, have to cope with individual economic planning processes. Most of them succeed based on support from families, friends, and peers. Some may simply refer to successful models experienced within their money socialization or to professional advice. Others, however, fail and become confronted with early indebtedness or even overindebtedness. The percentage of young adul…
RENT CREATION AND RENT SHARING: NEW MEASURES AND IMPACTS ON TOTAL FACTOR PRODUCTIVITY
2019
International audience; This analysis proposes new measures of rent creation and rent sharing and assesses their impact on productivity on cross-country-industry panel data. We find first that: (1) anticompetitive product market regulations positively affect rent creation and (2) employment protection legislation boosts hourly wages, particularly for low-skill workers. However, we find no significant impact of this employment legislation on rent sharing, as the hourly wage increases are offset by a negative impact on hours worked. Second, using regulation indicators as instruments, we find that rent creation and rent sharing both have a substantial negative impact on total factor productivi…
Aprendizaje informal, patrimonio y dispositivos móviles: evaluación de una experiencia en educación secundaria
2012
La relevancia e incidencia de los aprendizajes informales, parece cada vez más clara. Estos efectivos mecanismos, se están aplicando con intensidad en programas educativos de apoyo en espacios de presentación del patrimonio y museos, y al hilo de la irrupción de las TIC, también a través de dispositivos móviles, pero ¿son efectivos estos programas más allá de la innovación tecnológica? En el presente estudio se evalúa un programa para educación secundaria ejecutado en Zarautz (País Vasco). Los resultados confirman que la adquisición de contenidos es buena, y el factor motivacional provocado por los dispositivos móviles es alto. Por el contrario, no se ha podido determinar si pueden presenta…
Emotivity in Valencian demonstratives
2022
Més que una proximitat metafòrica cap al referent, la dixi emotiva, afectiva o empàtica produeix proximitat cap a l’oient arran de l’atenció conjunta i/o l’avaluació del referent. Aquest treball estudia els usos del demostratiu (com ara, la funció nominal o adverbial, el grau, el mode referencial, el caràcter humà, etc.) i de les seues construccions (anteposades al nom, posposades al nom o sense nucli nominal) per a comprovar quin tipus de demostratius tendeixen a tindre referents que són valorats de manera positiva o negativa. Per a realitzar aquesta exploració, hem recollit 383 formes demostratives d’un corpus propi (CoValC) format per converses col·loquials entre valencianoparlants de di…
